Amy Welborn, whose hard-hitting de-coding Da Vinci has been translated into eight languages, now illuminates a saint who's been revered by the Church for centuries: Mary Magdalene.

de-coding Mary Magdalene tells the truth about the Magdalene: she was NOT married to Jesus...she did NOT have his child...the Church has NOT suppressed "the truth"...she is NOT the "real" Holy Grail...she has NOT been demeaned by Christian tradition as "only a prostitute."

This extraordinary woman comes to life in Amy Welborn's book about one of the earliest disciples of Christ, a powerful witness to his death and resurrection.

Where de-coding Da Vinci left off, de-coding Mary Magdalene begins. Learn the truth, legend, and lies about this saint. Order today.
